Macau's help

Dinning room

-Macau- 

P’Pete has been silenced since I came home today. He only talked when I asked him about something. Ever Since I've known him this is the first time he’s been acting like this. Even Venice who now has grown a little bit bigger and can sit on P’Pete’s lap now looked stiff. 

We eat in silence, P’Pete only focus on his food and feeding Venice, as well as Hia. 

“Ehem, P’Pete…” I called him

“Hmm?” he answer and look at me

“Can Venice sleep with me tonight?” 

He raise his eyebrows and looking at me like doubting what he just heard.

“My friend show me a scary clip at school. I’m too afraid to sleep alone tonight. Na na ~ P’Pete!” I begged him. 

“Then why don’t you sleep in Vegas room with us tonight?” He asked.

Shit I didn’t think he will ask this question. I looked at hia. He looked back at me, clueless, and looked like I needed to  find the answer by myself. 

“Eeiii~ P’ I’m going to the university next year, how can I sleep with a couple in one room?” I said, giving him a fake laugh.

“Then, I will sleep with you too” he said

“NO!” shit I sounds to obvious now

“No~ P’ I don’t want to sleep with you”

“Are you disgusted by me?” P’Pete asked slightly hurt.

“No no, I don’t mean that way” shit what should I say now… 

Hia looked like he want to say something but restrain himself. 

After sometimes in silence…

“Alright Venice can sleep with you tonight, he might cry in the middle of the night, are you sure you’re okay with that?” P’Pete finally said.

“Yes yes Phi, I’m okay with that!” I answered him immediately. 

I look at my brother's eyes and talk with my eyes. 

"You better fix everything and give back the usual P’Pete!!"

-Pete-

“Pete”

Vegas called me from the bed. He’s been sitting on the bed waiting for me until I finish my night shower. I didn’t answer him and walk to the dressing table and sit there then turn on the hairdryer to dry my hair. I usually never wash my hair at night because I can’t use the hairdryer at night, I think it’s too noisy and Venice might hate the sound of it. But tonight Macau said he wants to take Venice to his room to sleep together. He said his friend at school showed him a scary clip. I didn't know he’s a scardy cat. 

I knew he just wanted to give me and Vegas time to talk. Macau has grown up now.

I was really focused on drying my hair until I didn't realize Vegas was already standing behind me and took the hairdryer from my hand, I let him dry my hair. I look at his figure in the mirror, he looking into my eyes, pleading. We didn’t talk to each other, just the sound of the hairdryer was heard in the whole room. I saw him focusing his full attention to dry my hair.

When my hair dried. He turn off the hairdryer and put it on the dressing table.

“Pete” He look in to my eyes from the reflection in the mirror.
